Wife and son on trip


Recommended Posts

Ok, my wife and oldest son (18) are going on a trip next week. She is going for work and will be on a school property, so she will not be able to legally carry her firearm with her (hcp holder). My son will be searching for employment in the area in her car which will have her firearm in it. I am assuming he will be Ok if he gets pulled over with a loaded handgun in the car since he is 18. I just want verification, but I think this will be fine. I completely trust him with a firearm, and I do not want them a couple of hours from home with no protection. But there is no way logistically they can travel with the firearm if she can't carry on school property and he can't have a firearm in the car. Ease my mind please!

Rest easy. It can be in the car on school property, and (assuming he's not otherwise prohibited from having a firearm) he can have it in the car w/o an HCP. If they're going to another state, things will likely be a little different.

 

OK in car to pickup/drop off passengers. Notice that an HCP is not required.

(4 ) A person entering the property for the sole purpose of delivering or picking up passengers and who does not remove, utilize or allow to be removed or utilized any weapon from the vehicle.

 

OK to leave it in the car on school property with an HCP. Doesn't have to just be pickup/drop off

Yes, staying in state. No problem on the school property. I was mainly concerned with him driving around town off school property with the loaded handgun and any hassles he might face...
